FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Good Good Good Good Good Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Acura RL was redesigned for the 2005 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

i own one and i love it!!!!!!!!!!! i used to have BMW 7 series but too many problems, and too expensive to maintain, but Acura is just perfect, never problems decent car, and has more things than BMW and runs better too

@CarFan2011 Actually that is completely false. The Acura RL got acceptable in the side test in structure / safety cage and got a " marginal " in the rollover rating, all by the IIHS. The only extremely safe cars in the world is the Volvo XC60 and the 2011 Mercedes-E Cass.

Man good physics!

Gosh! it didn't collided an inch after the side mirror!

[whattheheck1000]

oddly, i think the driver's seat is the safest seat for this crash. this car's steering wheel airbag is known to be the best there is.

This has been called one of the safest cars in the world by Consumer Reports.
